[governance] WEBCAST TUE-THU: Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum 2017 (AfPIF) live from Abidjan, Côte D’Ivoire

[Joly MacFie]

Every year I opine that the AfPIF may be the most valuable event  that ISOC
hosts.

Interconnection, while remaining an esoteric activity, is key to
internetworking. This event gives all of us, beyond network operators, a
window into its elements.  Today sees the formal opening but if you visit
the webcast, you'll find yesterday's warm up sessions full of technical
presentations.

Note that for the webcast we are using Livestream's 'new'; design. PRO:
html5 player; urls OK in comments; CON: one has to click (i) to see info on
archived sessions.  The webcast is being simulcast on the ISOC Africa
facebook page.
